The Chrysler 300 is an aesthetically pleasing, full-size sedan that's been around for a few years since its release in the early 2000s. In 2011, a second-generation model was launched with a redesign that's still ongoing. The 2023 Chrysler 300 is the newest version of the second generation, and it will likely be released early next year. It is expected to be largely the same as the 2022 model with no major upgrades. You'll find the same bold muscular design, eye-catching square grill, and smooth driving experience that 300 fans have come to love.
As this could be the last year for the iconic Chrysler 300, this might be your last opportunity to get your hands on a new one. If you've been longing for one, now is the time to get it while you can. You can enjoy the commanding presence of this car, including its spacious and comfortable interior, powerful V-6 or V-8 engine, and up-to-date tech and infotainment features. While there's nothing new in the 2023 Chrysler 300, it's still a great car that might be the last of its kind. Here are some features that will be carried over to the 2023 Chrysler 300.
Chrysler 300 Trims
The current Chrysler 300 offers three trims, and the 2023 model is expected to do the same. You can choose from the base level Touring trim; the Touring L, which comes standard with several upgraded features, such as heated front seats and a sunroof; and the sportier 300S with a V-6 or V-8 engine, which features chrome grills, leather-trimmed sport seats, and more comfortable suspension. The 300S V8 is virtually the same as the V6, but it offers a more powerful engine that comes with a lower fuel economy. All-wheel drive is available on the Touring and Touring L trims only.
Bold Exterior
The Chrysler 300's exterior features bold styling with an eye-catching square grill, wide fenders, and sleek lines. The Touring comes with 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, while the Touring L and 300S come standard with 20-inch black wheels. Deep front vents and a wide exhaust lend this sedan a powerful look without being over the top. For a sportier look on the Touring trim, you can add on the Sport Appearance Package for 20-inch black wheels, black chrome grille surround, black headlamp bezels and tail lamps, and other stylish exterior features to improve its appearance.
Roomy and Stylish Interior
The New 2023 Chrysler 300
The interior of the 2023 Chrysler 300 will be largely the same as the 2022 model, with no expected upgrades. You'll find the same easy-to-use analog controls and gray/black high-quality plastic dash. An 8.4-inch touch screen is built into the dash, with air vents on either side and temperature controls below it. The dual-zone automatic climate control system lets you set separate temperatures for the left and right sides to suit all your passengers. This full-size, five-seat sedan provides plenty of room for the driver and passengers in both rows of seating for a spacious ride.
Tech Features
The Chrysler 300 Touring's 8.4-inch touch screen is part of its Uconnect 4C infotainment interface that wirelessly connects with your Apple Airplay or Android Auto on compatible devices so you can get texts and send messages hands-free with voice recognition. It lets you easily listen to music or podcasts on your phone through the car's six-speaker audio system.
All upper trims come standard with GPS navigation through
Uconnect 4C NAV, which includes the same features as the Touring plus navigation and a five-year subscription to SiriusXM Traffic Plus and SiriusXM Travel Link. A 4G Wi-Fi hot spot is also available as an optional extra.
Engine and Power
The 300 Touring and Touring L use a 292-hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 6,350 RPM and 260 lb-ft of torque, while the 300S V-6 comes in at 300 hp. Both trims also use an eight-speed automatic transmission with rotary e-shift. The most powerful engine of the range is the 300S with the 5.7-liter V-8 HEMI engine, which gives you 333 hp at 5,200 RPM and torque that comes in at 264 lb-ft at 4,800 RPM. If you want to haul a light load, you'll be happy to know that all trims have an equal towing capacity of 1,000 lbs.
Safety Features
The standard safety features on the 2022, which are likely to be the same as in the 2023 Chrysler 300, include stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, and a rear-view camera. However, you'll probably want to upgrade to a safety package with added safety features.
The SafetyTec Plus Group is available on the Touring L and 300S vehicles and offers a range of additional safety features. These include adaptive cruise control, which lets you set a safe following distance to the car in front of you, and advanced brake assist with forward-collision warning to warn you of a possible collision and help you stop swiftly and safely.
Other handy features of this safety package include rain-sensitive windshield wipers that sense moisture buildup on the windshield and automatically come on to keep your view clear. The automatic high-beam headlight control senses the ambient light, adjusts to oncoming traffic headlights or taillights in front of you, and switches between high-beam and low-beam. Another important safety feature is the lane-departure warning that will alert you if you start to leave the lane, so you can safely correct your course. These features will help keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
The 2023 Chrysler 300 will continue the tradition of previous years and provide you with a powerful and appealing full-size sedan with plenty of room for five people and all the modern conveniences you'd expect in a new car.
